East Timor- Tour Top to Bottom

Summit of East Timor's highest mountain, Mount Ramelau.

Aussies told to forget Bali, try Timor
By Ellen Whinnett August 28, 2008 07:52am

EAST Timor will one day rival Bali as a drawcard for Australian tourists, its Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao has claimed.

Speaking in Melbourne, Mr Gusmao declared his fledgling nation open for business, reports the Herald Sun.

He said drawing Australian tourists to East Timor would be another way of driving the economy forward.

Only a handful make the 90-minute flight from Darwin to East Timor each month, but new hotels, scuba-diving firms and the publication of a Lonely Planet travel guide had made the country more attractive as a destination.

"I believe that when Australians know our country they will prefer our country instead of Bali for example," Mr Gusmao said.




He conceded that his nation, Asia's poorest, did not have the infrastructure for large-scale tourism.
"We want to increase from 10 Australians a year to 100 a month," he said, adding that diving was a way forward.
"It is the cleanest water in the world, the most beautiful corals. What I saw there was the red fish (clown fish, made popular by the movie Finding Nemo). We too have Nemo."
Mr Gusmao yesterday met Premier John Brumby, who pledged $50,000 towards establishing a new building code in East Timor.
He also spoke at the Melbourne Business School's new Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership for Social Impact, which offers scholars.

Diving Timor LesteAnn Turner, Turismo Timor Leste
Timor-Leste sits at the heart of the Indo-Pacific ‘coral triangle’, home to more species of marine life than anywhere else on earth. The clean, warm waters that surround the world’s newest country provide ideal conditions for a delicate coral reef ecosystem, supporting a vast diversity of creatures, from the smallest shrimp to the massive whale shark. Timor-Leste’s north coast sits on the edge of an underwater precipice, the Wetar Strait, a marine trench almost three kilometers deep, which provides a corridor for pelagic and migrating animals: whales, dolphin, tuna and sailfish patrol offshore. The coastal coral reef is constantly refreshed by the deep water, which brings both predators and prey to within reach of its inhabitants. This is the recipe for some of the world’s best diving.

Current fighter pilot Ads

comment from lgf
By putting out these ads, day after day, on different topics, the McCain campaign has gotten well inside Obama's OODA Loop. It takes one to two days for Obama's campaign to respond, by which time the next ad is out, coming at him from yet another angle. This is how McCain has taken the initiative away from Obama even during the Democratic coronation convention.

The fighter pilot is beating the community organizer.

Understatement of the decade!

Give me a break. it is not an attack ad. The MSM and Obama camps may say so, but it certainly is not. it is informative AND factual.

BrookesNews Update

Why Obama's tax 'rebate' plan cannot succeed
http://brookesnews.com/082508obamaeconomics.html
The last thing the US economy needs - or any other economy - is an Obama tax and spend policy, which would be better named tax and destroy. However, thereal problem is not Obama but economic illiteracy and entrenched Keynesian fallacies

Is deleveraging bad for the US economy?http://brookesnews.com/082508deleveraging.html
Those who accuse the US banks of endangering the economy by deleveraginghave failed to grasp that saving is real stuff and has nothing to do with money as such the so-called paradox of thrift turns out to be a logical impossibility

The business cycle and monetary policy: the RBA gets it wrong
http://brookesnews.com/082508rbamonetarypolicy.html
Although the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary policy has done an enormous amount of damage our economic commentators still treated it as if it were a sacred oracle, despite its awful grasp of monetary policy. This is further evidence of just how bad our economic commentariat really is

For Democrats politics is a war of extermination against their opponents
http://brookesnews.com/082508demsobama.html
The battle for Florida is still being waged with Obama and his corrupt media cohorts leading the charge against the Constitution. This battle will continue until either the Democrats have turned the US into a one-partystate or until they have been beaten to the point where they will permanently cease to be a threat to American liberties. And that also goesfor the their media pals

Carbon taxes and renewable energy: a disaster in the making
http://brookesnews.com/082508vivcarbontax.html
With nuclear power and oil shale banned, and plans to tax coal, oil and gasout of existence, man is headed back to the "green" energy sources of the Dark Ages - muscles, horses, firewood and sunshine

Obamacide: Obama's support for infanticide
http://brookesnews.com/082508obamainfanticide.html
Obama's media pals and supporters are running away from his support for infanticide. It tells us a great deal about the Democrats and journalists that they would support this barbaric practice. And they have the bloody nerve to accuse Republicans of being indifferent to suffering

Not only is freedom of speech threatened by Muslims, so is freedom of religion
http://brookesnews.com/082508islamicintolerance.html
Muslims aided and abetted the Nazis in their extermination of Jews sincethey shared a belief system that relegated Jews to the category of 'dogs andapes'. Unlike the Nazis Muslims disdain all religions other than Islam. Itis not only accepted but prescribed by Islam to destroy the Holy Bible and those who worship the word of God as opposed to the Islamic reverence of Allah

Democratic Platform's hidden Soros slush fund
http://brookesnews.com/082508obamasoros.html
Obama and his mate the 'democracy-loving' Soros plan to rip millions of dollars out of taxpayers and funnel them into Dem fronts. In short, this pair are going to use taxpayer dollars to fund their campaigns. If this ain't corruption then what the hell is?

Georgia and the left's double standards
http://brookesnews.com/082508gorgia.html
Russia invades Georgia, a tiny democracy, and the left - through their silence - condone this atrocity. Georgia's crime is that it is a democracy that aligned itself with the US. So once again the left's corruption,mendacity, treason, duplicity, hypocrisy and politically depravity is onpublic display. In short, the left are scum

Great White Fleet -100th Anniversary 1908-2008

USS McCain in Sydney for anniversary

Aug 20, 2008 6:18 PM

A US warship intends to hold on to its crew after arriving in Sydney Harbour to mark the 100th anniversary of the Great White Fleet - the US Navy's first voyage around the world.

The original fleet lost 300 sailors to the harbour city the first time round, when they jumped ship to stay put in the relatively new nation of Australia.

The armada of 16 US battleships and 14,000 men was sent around the globe by former US president Theodore Roosevelt between December 16, 1907 until February 22, 1909.

The controversial mission, which worried some Americans who thought it left the US defenceless, was the first time the US fleet had sailed around the world.


USS John S. McCain

PACIFIC OCEAN (March 18, 2008) The guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56) fires her five-inch gun system during a live-fire exercise. McCain is one of seven Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers assigned to Destroyer Squadron 15. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Byron C. Linder




The voyage, a show of military prowess and a chance to deter aggression throughout the Pacific, took in 20 ports across six continents.

More than 500,000 Sydneysiders greeted the fleet 100 years ago, one third of NSW's entire population in 1908.

The arrival of the USS John S McCain - named after the father and grandfather of current US presidential candidate John McCain - may have drawn fewer crowds, but was still accompanied by military fanfare.

As the destroyer sailed into Woolloomooloo Bay, it was flanked by two Australian warships, HMAS Darwin and HMAS Sirius, and a flotilla of vessels from the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.

On board the ship, navy officers manned the rails, or stood hands-behind-back in a traditional naval pose which honours the country of port.

At the Australian navy's fleet base on Garden Island, members of the Royal Australian Navy Band and the US Navy's Pacific Fleet Band welcomed the ship together.

Captain Mark Montgomery, commodore of the destroyer's squadron, said the ship's arrival in Sydney was emotional for the crew.

"When you come round the bend and see the Sydney Opera House it's really a unique experience for a mariner," he said.

"This really is a unique port, so well preserved ... The Rocks, the area around the park and Lady Macquarie's Chair, it's very different from most ports we pull into."

The original fleet famously lost 300 of its 14,000 sailors in Sydney, who never returned to the ship.

Captain Montgomery said he hoped he wouldn't lose too many naval officers to Sydney this time around.

"We only have 300 with us (this time) so we hope the numbers are lower," he joked.

"All things being equal, I'd like to leave with the number I came with."


Garden Island (Sydney Australia) 23 August 2008.


Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said the original fleet's arrival was highly significant for Australia.

"Hundreds of thousands of people lined these shores to welcome our American friends," he told reporters today.

"It was the beginning of a very, very important friendship and alliance.

"Today's visit is, of course, symbolic of the strength and the endurance of that relationship. A relationship we know will continue for a long, long time to come."

The USS John McCain, which has sailed from Brisbane, will stay in Sydney for five days before heading to Melbourne.
